Tomorrow my time of babysitting a grandson and puppy (both avid attention seekers and prime mess makers) not to mention a lizard and two hamsters will be over. No more clearing the debris of a rapid New York departure or overhauling toys and boys clothes in an effort to get things ready for school again, parents and teachers will once more take the reins. While they’ve been fun (and very affectionate) after a week also stuffed with urgent business it will feel so good to get back to my writing (and reading) again, my quiet, clean and tidy little “ivory tower” beckons.
